DAVAO CITY: mindanao's mini MANILA


We arrived around 4:00am in Davao City bringing with us the excitement of embracing new developments in some celebrated malls in the city. We first visited Abreeza Mall which is Davao's ayala mall. The mall's entrance showcased sweet breeze of nature with a blindsiding fountain beside a garden which is very calming to the eyes. I am also pleased to see green  reflections in the mall's facade. The place really is amazing where people in Davao is given a chance to experience shopping International brands brought by Ayala Malls through the  SSI(Stores Specialist Inc.) group. 

Below is a photo of me with my father and li'l bro sitting in a very "pinoy" bench located 
at the 2nd level of the mall.

I visited Fullybooked davao branch which I consider as every Bookworm's tourist spot.
I am a Book addict myself so I really bought a book as a souvenir.

We also visited KK(Krispy Kreme) branch in the city which is a bit small compared to Manila. We ordered of course the store's Best-selling original glaze doughnut! We paired this melt-in-your-mouth treat with their delightful chillers. My sis chose "Chocolate Chocolate" which I considered too sweet so I picked myself "Chocolate Oreo w/ Cookies"with espresso of course for that bitter-sweet sensation. The place is inviting and the crews are very accommodating where they even suggest their best product.

We visited Abreeza Mall twice where we invaded Blackbeard's Seafood island on the second day
 The restaurant is known for their freshly cooked seafood and their different varieties of Boodle feasts.

After Abreeza is SM Lanang Premier which I rate as the biggest mall in Mindanao yet. The mall is home of the first BOWLING center, SMX convention center and IMAX theatre in Mindanao. 

We bought clothes in Forever21 which is my sister's favorite part in the mall. What I love
inside F21 is their glittery tiles. haha!

After a tiring walk inside the mall, we tried "The world's yumiiest drinks" brought by Chris Tiu and friends in the Philippines--> HAPPY LEMON! We ordered Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese which is one of their bestsellers. The taste of the cocoa was good but the rock salt and cheese on top was the BEST! :)

With all the cool malls and stuff in Davao, i could say it's the Manila in Mindanao! :)
